1 Western Canadian Spill Services Ltd. Field Testing Exercise Report Wednesday, July 15, 2009 Clearwater River, Rocky Mountain House, AB
2 Background Western Canadian Spill Services Ltd. (WCSS) held a field testing exercise on the Clearwater River near Rocky Mountain House on July 15, The main objectives of the session included: Test a self-priming diesel trash pump. Test and compare 5 different in-stream anchors. Test a new type of warning marker bouys. Test two prototype inflatable river containment booms. Test a new hydraulic capstan winch mounted on a WCSS workboat. Test a new tank design that was developed to be air lifted from a WCSS workboat. 1. Self-Priming Pump WCSS members typically use trash pumps that require priming in order to pump water and/or an oil/water mixture during spill containment and recovery operations. In some cases we have observed problems in getting a sufficient prime which results in a delay in pumping fluids. In 2009 WCSS purchased a self priming diesel pump that was specifically designed to operate without the need to continually prime. The unit does require water in the pump s housing prior to operation. The 2 diesel self-priming Trash Pump was filled with 3L of water in the pump housing and was located approximately 6 above the water source when it was started. The following observations were noted: The unit ran well and started pumping immediately after being shut-off and restarted. The diesel engine started easily and operated without any problems. The pump demonstrated the ability to lift water 1.5 m. The cost of this unit is approximately twice the cost of a gasdriven trash pump. WCSS should consider replacing existing trash pumps at the end of their life with this type of technology. 2. Tank & Helicopter Lifts WCSS purchased an advancing skimmer (Bow Skimmer) in 2008 which can be mounted on one of two WCSS boats that have been retrofitted with specific housing for the unit. The skimmer is designed to collect surface oil at any location in a lake or river channel. The strategy for collecting oil and managing fluids is to have a number of portable storage containers that could be individually filled in the boat and transported to the nearest shoreline and heli-lifted to a staging area or directly from the boat deck to a staging area.
3 This field trial was designed to test a 400 liter tank that was purchased and the aluminum frame with secondary recovery that was designed to house the tank. The exercise was also designed to evaluate the use of a 206 Bell Long Ranger helicopter in transporting the portable storage unit and comparing lifting the tank from the shoreline and directly from the boat deck when operating in the river channel. The tank was lifted with a 4 point -shackle lift set which was provided by the helicopter pilot. The long line attached to the helicopter was made of Kevlar, which is more resistant to spinning when loaded.o A spring-loaded clamp at the end of the long line was used to attach the tank to the long line. The clamp should always be grounded before it is touched because it can cause shocks due to static build-up in the air (from storms, winter conditions, or other). Pinch points also need to be identified by all users prior to lift-off. The tank was lifted from the 18 Aquadek when it was half full and again when it was completely full. The tank (made from plastic) and secondary containment (made of aluminum) weigh approximately 105lbs when empty. The empty tank itself weighs approximately 75lbs. The tank can hold 400 L (90 gallons); approximately 800lbs. A scale that indicates weight distribution of up to 1,000lbs was used, and this number was almost reached. This is the maximum safe weight capacity for the Bell 206helecopter. Initially, the boat was moored on shore as depth perception is difficult for helicopter pilots over water. Allowing the pilot to use a reference point (like the shore) would enable him/her to hover over the boat with greater ease. It is necessary to give the helicopter pilot at least 100 of clearance in all directions. The full tank was also placed into the boat in the middle of the water.
4 Observations and Recommendations The tank filled with water and weight of the frame was about 364 kg (800lbs). In order to maintain a safety margin it is recommended that we utilize a 350 litre tank instead of the 400 litre model. Although it is possible to load and off-load the tank directly from the boat deck several problems were identified including: - Rotor downwash made boat handling difficult. - The pilot indicated that depth perception on the water was a problem. - Crew members on the boat do not have the same degree of control as they do onshore; it appears to be safer doing the operation on shore. It is recommended that the heli-lifting operation take place on the shoreline and not on the boat deck in a lake or river channel. The helicopter pilot indicated that the tank and frame travelled well and there was no spinning tendencies that is often experienced with rectangular loads. Communications between the pilot, ground crew and boat operator is critical; mobile radios worked well in this field trial. 3. Inflatable River Booms In 2008 WCSS purchased a lake boom unit that consists of a large reel and 470 meters (1500 feet) of inflatable boom. The unit was successfully tested at several Oil Spill Cooperative exercises and utilized at a spill on a central Alberta lake with positive results. The advantages of the inflatable boom are that it is lighter in weight, requires smaller storage space than conventional boom and can be rapidly deployed. The purpose of this field trial was to evaluate inflatable river boom for the following: 1) Test the boom strength when towed and deflected into the current. 2) Evaluate the overall effectiveness of the boom when deployed in a river channel. 3) Verify that the boom floated without the air chambers being filled with air. Two prototype 15 meter (50 foot) sections of inflatable river boom were designed and tested at this exercise.the boom has the same dimensions as conventional boom with one of the prototypes with a closed chain pocket and the other with a mesh chain pocket. The boom was designed with some flotation so that it can float without the air chambers being inflated.
5 Prototype 1 Short skirt Mesh chain pocket for easier cleaning. Often, it is impossible to get all of the oil out of the chain pocket, although this was not tested during this field testing exercise. Observations/ Recommendations 4. In-Stream Anchors The inflatable booms appeared to sit higher than conventional boom in the water and held a straight line when deflected into the current. The inflatable boom was easy to handle as it is much lighter than conventional boom. The boom towed well behind the boat. It is recommended that WCSS test the inflatable boom in other conditions; it appears that this product has potential. A visual observation of the mesh showed lots of water flowing through: a good sign. In future, this boom should be examined to see how easy it is to wash clean. Simulation of the boom losing water: when deflated, the test boom sags lower than the conventional river boom, however, tension in the attachments to other booms will keep the material standing straight up, thus preventing hydrocarbons to escape containment. It is our experience that in-stream anchors may or may not hold in any given river channel and that the success of this type of anchoring system is largely dependent on the type river bed material and the load that is placed on the anchors from the current and containment and recovery equipment. Five different types of in stream anchors were tested at the field exercise; Fraser River, CQR, Sarca, Modified Rake I and Modified Rake II. Two of these anchors were new and had not been tested by WCSS previously (Fraser River and CQR). The Modified Rake anchors and the Sarca anchor were tested previously, but they were modified slightly prior to this field exercise. The testing was done on the North Saskatchewan River where the surface current was flowing at about 4 km/hr with the river bed consisting of small cobble with a few larger rocks. The anchoring system included 20 meters of chain attached to the anchor and 18 meters of rope attached to the chain and a marker bouy. The following are observations and recommendations from the field test:
6 None of the anchors would set in the cobble, even when dragged downstream for several hundred meters. Using a combination of a rake anchor and SARCA anchor did appear to be more effective than using one type only. A 6 meter jet boat with a 200 hp Mercury sport jet only generated 64 kg of force when setting the anchor (reverse with full power). The larger boat with a 330 hp V-8 only managed to generate 81 kg of force when doing the same procedure. Identifying the type of river bed material would help responders select the best anchor for the conditions. The consensus of the group involved at the exercise was that no one in-stream anchor design will work in all conditions. The use of in-stream anchors should not be the anchoring 1 st choice when deploying an oil spill containment and recovery system in a river channel. Options that should be considered to anchor the containment and recovery system include trolly lines, bridge piers or on-shore anchoring opportunities. Fraser River Anchor Potential where you have big rocks on the river bed (i.e. the Bow River). This anchor was successfully deployed to hold the warning marker bouys in place. Modified Rake Anchor I This type of rake anchor was previously tested by WCSS. Following the last field testing exercise, it was identified that it was not heavy enough to dig into the river bottom and would not set. Following the previous exercise, the anchor was weighted at the base to facilitate setting. CQR Anchor This anchor would likely work in a water body with a mud and or sand bottom.
7 Sarca Anchor The Sarca anchor was also previously tested by WCSS. It has been found that this anchor takes approximately ft to dig in, and does not always set. When the anchor was set in tandem with the rake anchor in a river, it set well. If this anchor flips, it can take a long time to set. The point of this anchor makes a big difference when it comes to a softer bottom. The front tooth angle is the critical angle. Modified Rake Anchor II This anchor is very similar to Modified Rake Anchor I, but is slightly smaller. During this session the backward pulling force of an 18 Aquadek (175 hp Mercury Sport Jet), and a 20 Aquadek (350 V8 Marine Engine) was tested. 5. Capstan A hydraulic capstan winch was installed on the new 20ft aquadek boat (B34) on the port side gunwhale. This winch is controlled by either a control on the consol or a switch activated using the operator s knee. It was tested by its ability to reel in the anchor set and proved to be effective and reduced the amount of work that the operator had to do. A rope was attached from the anchor to the leading edge of the chain, allowing the operator to reel in the entire anchor set up to the anchor. A rope guide may further enhance the operation of the unit. 6. Marker Buoys WCSS has been investigating options for providing a better warning system for water users when equipment is deployed in a lake or river channel. Following a review of Transport Canada s guidelines WCSS worked with a contractor to build a proto-type warning system. The units which includes a yellow flashing light and warning sighn sits on 2 pontoon floats which are attached to an anchor set.attendees agreed that with some minor changes (i.e. pointed design at the front end of the pontoons and an adjustable tie-off point for the anchor set) these warning devices are effective and will be purchased for the regional WCSS equipment units.
